    Leaving. But we prepared to cook or have your provisions. This barn conversion is well equipped in every way. The location has restaurants and excellent pubs nearby.

    Everything. The converted barn was the best accommodation among many over 4 weeks in the UK. Richard and Jan were fabulous hosts and the accommodation had a beautiful comfy bed with two separate seating areas. Could have stayed forever.

    There is nothing to dislike. It was just perfect 👌

    We have just had the most amazing stay at this beautiful property. From the moment we arrived and met Jen and Richards, we felt so welcome . Greeted with freshly baked scones and homemade jam. It was just perfect! The house was just beautiful, so clean and smelt amazing. There was everything we could possibly need to make our stay perfect. The bed was so comfortable we had a fabulous sleep. The surroundings were so beautiful. Thank you so much, Jen and Richard

    Nothing that we didn't like.

    This property is just exactly what we were looking for, and the owners couldn't be more accommodating and approachable. This was our first little family break with our 1 year old little girl, and she had so much fun exploring the gorgeous gardens. It is in the middle of nowhere and so quiet and peaceful. The property itself is pristine, the bed is 10/10 for comfort and the owners also provided a travel cot for our little one. Hope we get to stay again in the future.

    Some guests may find the location a bit remote but for us it was what we wanted. We were very happy to be in a rural environment with wonderful birdlife. We were easily able too get to all the places of interest we wished to visit despite the need to drive on many narrow roads - which is the norm in much of the Lake District.

    Everything was perfect. We we particularly impressed by the very high standard of the accommodation; the quality of the barn conversion and its facilities; and the care and forethought of Richard and Jen, the owners/hosts.

    Everything was perfect. The hosts, Jen and Richard, made us feel very welcome. Jen had baked delicious cakes for our arrival. The gardens are very pretty and the views are stunning. The beds were comfortable, the rooms were beautifully and thoughtfully decorated and warm. The location for visiting the Lakes is excellent, with plenty to see and so close by. The whole property is a joy to stay in and is by far the nicest property we have booked for a stay in the U.K. You will not regret booking.

    Our stay in this beautiful property way exceeded our expectations. As we drove up we were first in awe of the beauty of the property and the gardens, and the stunning views. The relaxation we felt here was a dream. The hosts were so so so lovely and gave super clear and detailed instructions on how to find and enter the property. The small details inside really added up, the cake and fresh flowers that were left for us were the sweetest touches. The property was so clean, smelt heavenly with scent diffusers placed all around the place, just stunning and not a single fault! The rooms were immaculate, again with all the little details making our stay so pleasant. When we met the host, she was the sweetest lady and made us feel so welcome. My parents and I genuinely had the best stay here and were all surprised with how wonderful it really was as it far exceeded our expectations. We can’t wait to visit again some time!
